The main connections with topics from previous chapters
are the involvement of children (Chapter 3) and
the issue of discrimination (Chapter 6). From the former
perspective the proposed research might look rather
straightforward: parental consent can be obtained, with
some input, where relevant, from the child as this
becomes appropriate. However, we will see that issues
arising from the case study raise difficult questions
about the limits of standard justifications for parental
decision-making on behalf of children.
